Results of 1470 nanometre diode laser assisted stapedotomy.
Article in The Journal of laryngology and otology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesFew studies have investigated stapedotomy using 1470 nm diode laser, and the present article contributes with clinical experience.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted to investigate hearing performance of 22 patients undergoing 1470 nm diode laser-assisted primary stapedotomy.
resultsIn 8/22 cases, accidental breaches to the inner ear by the laser and in 14/22 cases the stapedotomy was performed as planned only by drill. Air-bone gap and loss of sensorineural hearing were low and with no significant differences for groups at follow-up. No patients with breaches by laser reported new or worse tinnitus.
conclusionAccidental breaches in the stapes footplate using this diode laser did not appear to equate with inner ear damage within this limited cohort. Hearing outcomes were not significantly affected. These findings should be interpreted with caution. Further studies evaluating this laser wavelength in stapedotomy is required.
